00:00Thank you. And I think that this theme that we are seeing is, you said it, a right to life versus their desire for profit.

00:11You just described that. And in this bill, that's what we see over and over again.

00:15The right to life, because you need the health insurance, versus the right for profit.

00:23Yeah, see, they say they're pro-life because they want the baby to be born, go to school, and get shot in the school.

00:28Die in the school, die on the streets. No. That is what they say.

00:36I'm not going to say anything, but you've gone over the cliff.

00:40I'm not going over the cliff.

00:43Wait, you've gone over. We were going to be quiet, but you've gone over now.

00:51You didn't use any word.

00:52I meant every word.

00:53We are going to strike your words.

01:02But on the other hand, it might be good to leave your words.

01:07It might be good to leave your words.

01:11Because that's how you feel.

01:14But you are not going to come into this room and impugn our integrity.

01:19You will not.

01:28We are pro-life people from conception to natural death.

01:34Most of us are.

01:37And don't you come in here and say,

01:40we want to preserve life so people can get shot.

01:43That's what I've seen.

01:45Thank you, Madam Chair.

01:50Are you through, Ms. Ledger-Fernandez?

01:53I hope so.

01:56Well, Madam Chair, I want to thank all of our witnesses for coming in and laying out the distinct perspectives

02:04and approaches between how we believe this bill will affect Americans,

02:12their ability to get health insurance,

02:15which is essential for their ability to both live a healthy life and to continue to live.

02:22And with that, Madam Chair, I'll ask you.

02:23Madam Chair, I did make a motion that has not been acted on.

02:26If you would like for me to withdraw that motion, I will withdraw it.

02:30Mr. Scott, I think it's better to leave those words in the record.

02:35That's fine.

02:35Let's let them know how they feel.

02:37Then to take the motion.

02:38You did not make a proper motion, just for the record.

02:39You're withdrawing your motion.

02:42Yeah.

02:44The panel is dismissed.

02:47Thank you very much.

02:49Thank you very much.
